Moody's Bacy stepping down

Trojans football went 10-29 in his four seasons

CORPUS CHRISTI - Sensing it was time for a change, Frank Bacy has decided to step down as Moody's athletic coordinator and head football coach at the end of the school year.

"I did some soul searching," said Bacy, who led the Trojans to a 10-29 mark after taking over the program in 2005. "Things weren't getting any better. The kids need something better."

Brenda Marshall, director of athletics for the Corpus Christi Independent School District, said Bacy submitted his letter of resignation on Nov. 20. Marshall said Bacy had mentioned it before and talked about it again after the season.

"He had been thinking about it for a while," Marshall said. "He brought it up once or twice to me."

Marshall said the district will begin advertising the opening next week and continue taking applications until early January. She hopes to start the interview process in early February, if not before then.

"We want to get somebody in as soon as we can," Marshall said.

The Trojans finished 3-7 in Bacy's first three years and 1-8 last season.

Bacy said he had planned to retire after one more season but isn't sure what might happen now.

"If I'm going to retire, why take a job for one more year? So I'll just play it by ear," Bacy said. "I'll just wait and see if something comes up."
